  Yeah I thought odometer fraud was like a serious thing, I wonder if it applies here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The other servers do cache the content for some time yes, but if your server is based in a country not friendly to your posts then you are vulnerable to takedowns as you say.

  The benefit I’m saying we have in the fediverse is that you can pick a server in a politically safe area (ie outside Turkey in this case), so they are less likely to comply, especially if they are small or don’t care about being blocked by that country (that’s usually the only thing they can do unless you have an office or staff there that can be arrested - less likely to be the case if your server is run by some dude in another country).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m saying that if your home server (mastodon.social) is outside of Turkey, then there is less reason for them to comply in the first place because they only risk the mastodon.social server being blocked in Turkey. That one is a bad example because they’re one of the largest, so if you want to be extra safe, you’d want to pick a server that isn’t so big so that they are less likely to care about complying with some other county that they might not have any users from.

  If the server you use is based inside the country that has a problem with your content, then you’d be screwed - though all the other servers will still mirror and cache your content for a bit even if you get taken down.

  The resiliency lies in the fact that you can choose to register in a country that is politically friendly towards your posts or if your home country is friendly but you want to avoid being taken down, you can self host a single user instance and refuse any requests from other countries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The difference is that if your home server is outside of Turkey then you can tell them to kick rocks. Bluesky probably complies because they don’t want to be blocked from Turkey. In a truly decentralized system like activitypub, only the server hosting the account / content in question risks being blocked, which means almost nothing the closer you get to a single account instance. Meanwhile every other server not in Turkey would not notice a difference.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self hosting and HSTS preload domains⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I use a .dev and it just works with letsencrypt. I don’t do anything special with wildcards, I just let traefik request a cert for every subdomain I use and it works. I believe letsencrypt must ignore HSTS for validation because I use the tls challenge which works on port 443, so I don’t think port 80 is required, but I still forwarded it so I can serve an http->https redirect since stuff like curl and probably other tools might not know about HSTS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another Wikipedia Admin Caught Making PR Edits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think we’ll have to agree to disagree then, I don’t think that is at all the obvious interpretation and I don’t think everyone needs to clarify where they live when talking about it to “avoid the issue”.

  Imo if people making assumptions about others living in the US annoys you then you should find it more annoying when someone assumes where you live AND assumes you intended to be presumptuous about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another Wikipedia Admin Caught Making PR Edits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it wrong to want to talk about the place you live in without telling people where you live? Should everyone be required to state the place they live in any time they talk about it? I don’t really see what the problem is with speaking about your place of residence without revealing where you live. I don’t get how not mentioning where you live means you assume everyone knows. Maybe you not knowing is intentional.

  While I think it’s annoying when people assume others live in the US, I think it’s even more annoying to both assume people who don’t mention where they live must live in the US and also assume they intended you to know that they live in the US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another Wikipedia Admin Caught Making PR Edits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t “as a city” just tell you who the “we” refers to? As in “we, the people of our city, need x”? That’s how I understand it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another Wikipedia Admin Caught Making PR Edits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s all good! For some reason your comment still shows up in my inbox in Sync so I didn’t realize

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nextcloud (PHP) vs OpenCloud (Rust)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Gotcha thanks for the info! It looks like I would be fine with ocis or opencloud, but since my main use case and pain points are with document editing which is collabora, it probably wouldn’t change much besides simplifying the docker setup (I had to make a gross pile of nginx config stuff pieced together from many forum help posts to get the nextcloud fpm container to work smoothly). But it already works so unless it breaks there’s little incentive for me to change.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another Wikipedia Admin Caught Making PR Edits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I still don’t see how saying that you want x or y in your country is equivalent to talking like your community is the default.

  I would totally agree if the statement was “we need x in my country and you all should vote for it” because that would be assuming everyone reading is able to participate and therefore lives there. But that’s far from what the statement was, which made no assumptions and didn’t even mention a country. All they said was that they want something in their country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another Wikipedia Admin Caught Making PR Edits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree it could be more clear, but I don’t think it’s fair to jump down their throat when they didn’t even mention the US. It just strikes me as an uncharitable interpretation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another Wikipedia Admin Caught Making PR Edits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Why are we assuming they’re talking about the US?

  ---

  (Protip: It’s because we know they’ve assumed the US as the default country, since that’s a really common phenomenon)

  I think that would be a valid complaint if they had actually lumped everyone in this thread into their statement by assuming that everyone here lives in the US by default, but I sincerely think that any charitable interpretation of their comment reads as “we” simply meaning “the people of my country”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another Wikipedia Admin Caught Making PR Edits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What part of their comment assumes that everyone else is from their country? I only see them referring to themselves and their own country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nextcloud (PHP) vs OpenCloud (Rust)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah I see, I guess at least that would help with the main UI, but I’m already using collabora through the collabora code server in next cloud so it sounds like I’ll probably have the same document editing experience with OCIS/opencloud. I used to use onlyoffice but after I tried out their mobile app, it started blocking me from editing documents using the next cloud app (which seemed to use the only office web UI) so I was forced to switch unless I started paying for onlyoffice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nextcloud (PHP) vs OpenCloud (Rust)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What are the apps that you would miss? I basically only use my NC as a Google drive and docs replacement, so all it has to do is store docx files and let me edit them on desktop or mobile without being glitchy and I’ve really wanted to consider OCIS or similar.

  That second requirement for me seems hard because of how complex office suites are, but NC is driving me to my wit’s end with how slow and error prone it is, and how glitchy the NC office UI is (like glitches when selecting text or randomly scrolling you to the beginning).

  Karma doesn’t matter, votes do since it allows boosting or limiting post reach, so vote manipulation for the purposes of stuff like astroturfing is still a concern unless we want to kill every sorting option besides New.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PLA in screw hole preventing me from unscrewing the hotend (SV06)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As long as your thermistor or heater block doesn’t fall out you should be fine. But if you want to be safe, just set it to 200 and then turn it off before you unscrew it so that it won’t thermal runaway if it comes apart while working on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨samba docker compose help ver2⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In case you haven’t realized, the user and pass in the docker compose are for setting the user/pass that you will enter on windows to access the share. It doesn’t have to be the same as the Linux server user account - though mine is the same because it’s easier to remember.

  Hmm, well it doesn’t seem to be any problem with the docker compose then as best as I can tell. I picked a random ext4 flash drive and replicated your setup with the UID and GID set and it seems to work fine:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨samba docker compose help ver2⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would suggest adding “UID” and “GID” environment variables to the container, and set them to the numeric values for user and group numbers that show in place of your name when you use “ls -an” inside of the “mount” folder (they will probably be the same number). I get the same error as you when I copy your docker-compose and try to access a folder owned by my user. When I add the UID and GID of my user id to the docker-compose (1007 for me), the error goes away.

  The bigscreen beyond used 1 inch displays so this could be useful for getting much higher resolutions in a smaller form factor. I don’t think my Index displays are even as big as 4 inches so I guess that explains why all the super high res headsets are so huge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  On one hand, it looks like this only applies to streaming from a remote server where neither the server owner or the user has Plex pass, so lifetime holders or dedicated server operators with a subscription can continue to provide access to all our non paying friends. It isn’t explicit whether non-paying users people who port forward / do reverse proxying themselves are affected but it sounds like they are, which is utter BS since direct connections don’t cost Plex hardly anything.

  It is however nice that they’re trading this for getting rid of the mobile unlock BS - it was always awkward explaining to friends that they could watch anywhere except on their phone unless they paid $5.

  On the other hand, one notable side effect is that all non-lan streaming will now be associated with a paying server owner or a paying user, which makes it impossible to use Plex to share pirated media without a user on either end giving up PII / payment information. I have a gut feeling that this is an extension of the previous piracy crackdown on OVH(?) hosted servers meant to ensure they have the identity of all users who may be engaged in selling access.

  Overall, yeah another reason to move to JF. I paid for lifetime more than a decade ago so I’m going to keep using Plex until my non-paying friends start to have issues, but I really hope this pushes more investment into JF apps. I really need a good android TV app that supports server transcoding (IIUC findroid’s beta TV builds are direct stream only).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GoToSocial empowers you to have your own home on the Fediverse - with unique controls⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow that’s impressive! I tend to be very value oriented, and at the sub $5 price, you’re getting so little that I feel like you’re mostly paying for a public IP and bandwidth. And of course selfhosting your compute is usually a win, especially if you already have something laying around. So I just pay the public IP tax for a reverse proxy and home host it all. I would probably go with a cheaper VPS for my reverse proxy but I need the confidence it’ll hold up to multiple friends Plex streaming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GoToSocial empowers you to have your own home on the Fediverse - with unique controls⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah if you aren’t down to publicly expose your IP address / port forward, the cheapest way I can think of still involves a several $/mo VPS that just reverse proxies home to a more powerful PC. That’s what I do since I’m behind CGNAT.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if we started uploading YT videos to PeerTube?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not only is there the issue of getting approval from the video creators, there’s the issue that most PeerTube servers aren’t ready to handle a huge influx in uploads, as this would likely be a bulk operation.

  Personally I think mirroring YouTube content would be more viable once ActivityPods lands and is integrated with PeerTube, which could potentially let you self host your PeerTube account data while still being part of a separate “home instance”, which would greatly help with the storage issue for PeerTube as we could all bring our own storage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨brick layer printing strength analysis by my tech fun⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  TL;DW: Small sample size aside, it looks like the brick layers could be marginally stronger in some ways, but it can be weaker if you don’t also increase the extrusion multiplier since offsetting a column of circles down by half a row in a grid of touching circles will make the circles not touch (hopefully that’s an intuitive explanation of the need to increase the extrusion multiplier).
